I Am Overlord

Chapter 1629: Killing the Stoneman

Xiang Shaoyun's god body was on the verge of collapse. The stoneman's heart had been pierced through by Xiang Shaoyun. Both sides seemed to have suffered equally from their clash.

Fortunately, Xiang Shaoyun was not one to joke around with his life. With the profundity of life and the Imperial Nether Domain around him, he wouldn't die so easily. Although he couldn't transfer the strength of his soul clone to his main body, the strength of his soul still allowed him to maintain a tenacious willpower. With that stubborn will, he urged his broken body to start healing.

Profundity of life!

He pushed the profundity of life to the limits and surrounded his body with clumps of energy. Slowly but surely, his wounds started closing. The profundity of life was truly worthy of being the most original power of life. No matter how heavy the injury, Xiang Shaoyun could heal himself and would not die so easily.

Surprisingly, the stoneman had remained alive as well. His heart had been destroyed, but he was already a God. His life force was far stronger than that of a regular stoneman. He also started healing, but he had to first push out the Primal Inception Saber from his heart.

"I am a member of the royal race of stonemen. How can I be defeated? Piss off!" the stoneman roared as he repelled the saber out of his body.

After ridding his body of the saber, he walked toward Xiang Shaoyun, one step at a time. His eyes flickered murderously. Fortunately, he seemed to be much slower than before. The suppression of the domain only served to make him slower, protecting Xiang Shaoyun from being instantly killed.

Xiang Shaoyun could sense the impending crisis, but he still did not wish to utilize his soul clone. He could feel that the God Realm energy within his astral cosmos sea was changing yet again as the seventh strand was rapidly forming. So long as the strand finished forming, his strength would rise to a brand new level.

"Form!" Xiang Shaoyun accelerated his energy circulation, sending the primal inception energy coursing through his body as he forced the formation of his seventh strand of God Realm energy.

In an instant, the energy in his astral cosmos sea became abundant yet again. The newfound strength slowly coursed through his body, allowing him to heal even faster as his god body shone with more intensity than before.

"Die!" When the stoneman sensed the unusual change, he moved faster and threw a punch with all his strength.

The divine dao eyes flickered into existence in Xiang Shaoyun's eye sockets, allowing him a clear view of the punch's trajectory. He also saw the weaknesses in the stones surrounding the fist. Instead of evading the punch, he gathered all his strength into his fist and unleashed a nine-colored punch.

Three Lives Fist, Future Life!

That one punch seemed capable of erasing all possibilities of future reincarnations.

Boom!

The two fists collided, creating a muffled sound as the two were sent flying apart. This time, Xiang Shaoyun seemed much better off than before. He might have been sent flying and his fist might be bleeding, but his body seemed to be in a much better situation.

On the contrary, the stoneman looked rather miserable. His stony arm broke apart piece by piece, and the destruction spread to the point that almost half his body was ruined. It did not seem possible that he could restore his body either.

"Again!" With his surging battle intent, Xiang Shaoyun ignored his injury and charged ahead, unleashing yet another Three Lives Fist.

A punch as powerful as a dragon and a tiger tore through the air destructively. This was the strongest attack Xiang Shaoyun could unleash at his current level.

"I will not be defeated!" roared the stoneman as he threw a punch with his remaining arm.

Instantly, the other arm was pulverized as well. The ascension to the seventh stage had greatly increased Xiang Shaoyun's strength. Even his battle intent had been elevated to an unprecedented level.

Xiang Shaoyun was bleeding profusely from his fist, and even his bones were visible from the wound. However, he couldn't feel any pain, only a raging battle intent. Once again, he unleashed a barrage of attacks toward the stoneman's heart with the Primal Inception Saber and nine-colored lotus.

Wave after wave of attacks slammed into the stoneman, collapsing his entire body. Xiang Shaoyun landed weakly, and the Imperial Nether Domain slowly faded around him. The moment he had killed the stoneman, his jade plate had started shining brilliantly as his contribution points rose sharply.

This was not the first God he had slain. In fact, very few among the participants could do what he had just done. The victory did not signify the end of the battle, as more aliens could be seen charging toward Xiang Shaoyun. Because he was still recovering, his combat strength had dropped considerably. Thus, it seemed much harder for him to face these new opponents.

Hum! Hum!

Abruptly, a burst of pleasant tunes rang out in the air. The power of the sound seemed targeted as the sound waves entered the ears of the aliens, restraining their strength and greatly reducing the level of danger Xiang Shaoyun was facing. The source of the melody was none other than Yue Xi.

She strummed her fingers across the zither strings rapidly, sending numerous musical notes floating forward. The power behind her melody was not to be underestimated. If it wasn't for her exhaustion and heavy injuries from her confrontation with the stoneman, she could have even killed these aliens with her zither alone.

Xiang Shaoyun made use of the little buffer he had and hurriedly dissolved some primal chaos lightning liquid and saint crystals in his astral cosmos sea to further replenish himself. His condition started improving at a considerably faster speed, but he did not stop to rest. Rather, he rained destruction upon the aliens with the Primal Inception Saber in one hand and the Divine Yin Yang Sword in the other hand. Even in his injured state, his attacks were still incredibly formidable.

Instead of choosing to face these opponents head on, he opted for speed. He flickered about incessantly, aiming for the weaker ones among them. Yue Xi's support made his job much easier, and as he fought, his body and strength recovered at a steady rate.

Elsewhere, the battle raged on. Blood continued raining down from the sky, forming rivers of blood on the ground. Both sides had suffered disastrous losses, especially the human army, which had lost over half its numbers. The aliens still held a numerical advantage over them. If this continued, the human army would eventually be defeated.

Amid the group, a shadow nobody seemed to have noticed was drifting about incessantly, noiselessly devouring the blood and broken limbs dropping from the sky. The shadow assumed many forms, such as a boulder, a bug, a bloody figure, and so on, as though it embodied countless transformations in a single body. That shadow was none other than Blood Spirit, the alien Xiang Shaoyun had encountered previously.

The more blood and flesh he devoured, the more formidable his strength and abilities became. Finally, he broke through the constraints of his realm and started advancing into the God Realm.

"I need to become stronger. I am the strongest unrivaled life form in existence," roared Blood Spirit as he unleashed a terrifying suction force to devour all the blood and flesh around him.
